VERSE:
  D        G      D         G
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends.

  D     A    Bm  D     G    A    D
A chance to share old memories  and play our songs again.

 D             G   D        G
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name,

  D    A   Bm  D  Em7    A    D
But no one recog-nized me,  I didn`t look the same


CHORUS:
 D     G  A   D  Bm   G     A   D
But it`s, all right now.    I learned my lesson well.

       G   A   D  Bm     Em7   A   D
You see you, can`t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.


VERSE:
 D        G       D       G
People came from miles around. Everyone was there.

 D   A     Bm  D      G    A    D
Yoko brought her walrus.  There was magic in the air.

 D        G    D       G
And over in the corner, much to my surprise,

D  A      Bm    D    Em7   A    D
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan`s shoes  wearing his disguise.


CHORUS:
 D     G  A   D  Bm    G     A   D
But it`s, all right now.    I learned my lesson well.

       G   A   D  Bm     Em7   A   D
You see you, can`t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

 G A D Bm  G  A   D  G A D Bm  Em7 A D
Lot da da,  lot n da da da


VERSE:
D           G      D            G
I played them all the old songs, I thought that`s why they came.

D    A    Bm  D  G     A    D
No one heard the music,  We didn`t look the same.

D         G     D       G
I said hello to `Mary Lou`, she belongs to me.

    D   A      Bm  D   Em7   A    D
When I sang a song about a honky tonk,  it was time to leave.


CHORUS:
 D     G  A   D  Bm     G     A   D
But it`s, all right now.     I learned my lesson well.

       G   A   D  Bm     Em7   A   D
You see you, can`t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

 G A D Bm  G  A   D   G A D Bm   Em7 A D
Lot da da,  lot n da da da


VERSE:
 D           G        D           G
Someone opened up the closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode,

 D     A     Bm    D    G      A    D
Playing guitar like a ringin` a bell  and lookin` like he should.

D              G     D        G
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck

     D  A    Bm   D   Em7      A    D
But if memories were all I sang,   I`d rather drive a truck.


CHORUS:
 D     G  A   D  Bm     G     A   D
But it`s, all right now.     I learned my lesson well.

       G   A   D  Bm     Em7   A   D
You see you, can`t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.

 G A D Bm  G  A   D   G A D Bm   Em7 A D
Lot da da,  lot n da da da


CHORUS:
 D     G  A   D  Bm     G     A   D
But it`s, all right now.     I learned my lesson well.

       G   A   D  Bm     Em7   A   D
You see you, can`t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
